Russia to allow carriers to hire foreign pilots | ATWOnline
It will be very interesting to see what kind of reception the crews give to foreigners, it has been such a closed club for so many years that I don't think it will be very social

Who in his right mind would want to work for an airline in Russia? I've had many contacts with Aeroflot pilots and trust me, their contract is not something you would work for. And Aeroflot is probably the best out there...
Private jets might be something else entirely, but Russian airlines? I don't think so.

Only 200 pilots and probably commanders only 
The Russian Transport Ministry proposes hiring some 200 foreign pilots for Russian airlines, however, this figure would just cover the country’s flagship carrier Aeroflot and more pilots could be needed, reports RIA Novosti referring to "Kommersant" newspaper.
The Transport Ministry has prepared amendments to the Aviation Code, allowing to hire citizens of other states as pilots. The document is published on the website of the Ministry. The amendments have been submitted for interdepartmental adjustment. The quota for foreigners, and the period of contracts with them are to be defined by the Government. The quota is supposed to be in force during 5 years. In this period, the deficit will reduce due to training own staff, “Kommersant” newspaper writes today.
